mini fruity rainbow cake

Assalamualaikum everyone!

I've been busy lately with my study and a lot of problems stressed me out. So I guess I need to quit baking for a while since I can’t be at home for a quite long time. Don’t get me wrong, I‘ll absolutely miss baking and my little kitchen so much.

To cheer up myself(as this is the last cake for the time being), I made some time to try something new. I used a different recipe from my first Rainbow Cake, which you can either steam or bake. I added some fruit pastes in the layers – Lemon zest + Yellow color, Orange paste + Orange color, Strawberry paste + Red color and ‘Pandan’ paste + Green color.

It came out just like I hoped it would be - Moist, fruity and so much fun on tongue!

As an appreciation for a beautiful ring given by my boy, so the cake was unintentionally upgraded as his second birthday cake. lol. I did not use cream cheese or whipping cream frosting like I’m used to(since he is not into something creamy like those cake toppings) but just the way he like, I used white chocolate to layer and top the cake! And to hold the tall cake, I arranged some wafer biscuits(I suggest to you a better biscuits i.e. lady finger biscuits) around and tie them with a ribbon. It’s a trick to cover the messy work as well. Anyway, yummy!

And it comes with a low lightning quality picture

Feel free to make your own go-to frosting and you can add Yam paste with Purple color and Blueberry paste with Blue color too. Happy trying! :)
